For the third consecutive year, Offenbach-based Falken Tyre Europe GmbH is proud to sponsor the Main Matsuri Japan Festival, taking place from 15 to 17 August 2025 in Büsing Park, Offenbach.
Over the course of three days, this popular summer festival will immerse visitors in the rich and vibrant culture of Japan - from live music and traditional dance to cosplay, street food, and hands-on creative workshops. More than 200 artists from Japan and Germany will deliver a colourful and diverse programme designed to captivate both dedicated fans and first-time visitors alike.
The festival’s mission is to build bridges - between tradition and modernity, between cultures, and between people. It’s a vision Falken Tyre Europe is proud to support.
“Our products embody precision, innovation, and reliability - values deeply rooted in Japanese culture,” says Markus Bögner, Managing Director and President of Falken Tyre Europe GmbH. “Main Matsuri offers a unique opportunity to showcase this connection in a truly special way.”
